Friday Funny – #BlogHop #LinkUp – Knock Knock Jokes for Kids

Parrot loves knock knock jokes. They are the only type of jokes that get a laugh out of his siblings.  Every day he reminds me that Kitty doesn’t laugh at his jokes and he doesn’t laugh at her jokes.  But they both laugh at knock knock jokes.  Here are a few of The Talbert Zoo’s favorite knock knock jokes for kids. Knock Knock!Who’s there?Boo!Boo who?Don’t cry it’s just a joke! Knock knock!Who’s there?Little old lady?Little old lady who?Wow! I didn’t know you could yodel!   Knock knock!Who’s there?BananaBanana who?Knock knock! Who’s…

Blogging and Other News from The Zoo

I’ve been blogging since 2007 and what was once just a hobby has turned into a full time work from home job.  I love it, have made great online friends along the way, and in the past, some decent money.  But now I am frustrated because I have reached  a plateau with The Healthy Moms Magazine. I feel like I am stuck and don’t know how to continue to climb the mountain. If you have been following my main blog you might know that I have a fairly large following…

Tired, Cranky, Weepy and Slower than Molasses in January Today

Is it really Monday already? Usually I move slow like a snail on Mondays. Today I think I am molasses in January.  Last night I barely got five hours of sleep.  When I don’t sleep I get cranky and lack the motivation for anything. You see, I have a problem.  I’ve had this don’t know how to fall asleep problem since my early 20’s.  Back then life became stressful.  I was a single mom of a holy terror of a little girl (Goose), lived by myself, worked part time to…

Friday Funny – #BlogHop #LinkUp – …You Just Might be a Mother of Boys

I have five kids and three of them are boys.  Testosterone rules here at the Talbert Zoo.  If you have boys I am sure you can relate! If you sit down to pee and find out that the toilet seat is up…you just might be a mother of boys. If your mealtime rule is no wrestling at the dinner table…you just might be a mother of boys. If the only article of clothing required in your family’s dress code is underwear…you just might be a mother of boys. If you…

Title This

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Like a majority of my posts here I am going to have to come up with a title after I am done writing.  I might just call it, “Bla, Bla,” or “Title This” to get some suggestions.  What do you think? As I am writing this I realize that I don’t have any good or new photos from my phone to add. Maybe I should just post random family photos from the past few months. I know I have quite a few saved on this…

Wordless Wednesday is live on talbertzoo.com and thehealthymoms.net. Hop on over, share your Wordless Wednesday link, post our button on your site, and leave me a comment so I can visit you! He wears this hat everywhere.  It goes with him indoors, outside, while riding in the van and sometimes during nap time.  I wonder if he will still wear it when it gets warm outside.  Probably.  This is his “comfort hat.” An InLinkz Link-up ARM & HAMMER Clump & Seal Platinum Multi-Cat Complete Odor Sealing Clumping Cat Litter with…

Household Tasks or Household Responsibilites?

That was the question that I pondered after an interesting conversation with Chris this weekend.  I noticed a little tension in our relationship so I asked my husband if we could talk.  We had Goose watch the kids downstairs while our uplifting conversation irrupted in the bedroom. It all stemmed from our families of origin. If you have ever been in marriage counseling or pre-marriage counseling you should be familiar with that phrase.  Your family of origin is the family that raised you when you were a child. Your experienced…

The Talk, a Date with Bear, Lent and Other Stories from the Zoo

As I write this I am unable to think of an appropriate title. By the time I get to the end of this post hopefully I will have thought of a good title. Yesterday I was out of the house all day long and away from my computer.  Usually I spend the whole day at home. Yesterday was an exception. I dropped Monkey and Kitty off at school at 8 o’clock. When I got back home I had to gather a few items and then rush off with Little Bear…
